The United States and Denmark are scheduled to meet tomorrow to discuss the ongoing dispute over control of Greenland.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen will meet with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington, D.C., to address the claims by the U.S. to take control of the Arctic island.
Greenland’s Foreign Policy Minister Vivian Motzfeldt is also expected to participate in the meeting.
The meeting comes amid heightened tensions over the Arctic territory, following repeated statements by U.S. President Donald Trump asserting that Greenland should be “acquired” for U.S. national security interests.
Greenland, home to fewer than 57,000 residents and approximately four-fifths covered by ice, is largely autonomous but officially part of the Kingdom of Denmark, a NATO member. Residents have consistently opposed U.S. control, and Denmark along with other NATO allies has rejected the idea.
